This Friday, we're dropping a brand new collab Hazy IPA at our Rehoboth and Middletown taprooms! "First Love" was brewed with our friends Travis & Darius from Gypsum Love Brewing, and they'll soon be based right here in the First State!

Gypsum Love Brewing will be a first-of-its-kind craft beer co-op and taproom dedicated to uplifting Black home brewers. Their mission is to break barriers in craft brewing, build ownership, and brew damn good beer while doing it.

When they mentioned brewing damn good beer, we were sort of like, "Uh, hell yeah!" and thus "First Love" was born! Brewed with Citra, Dynaboost Citra, Motueka, Riwaka, and Nelson Sauvin, it delivers notes of pink grapefruit, tart passion fruit, and white grape. Clocking in at 7.3%, it's shockingly crushable and full of flavor.

"First Love" will be available in cans and on tap this Friday, June 5th, at noon in both of our Taprooms. If you can't make it in, our friends at Makers Alley are hosting a special guest tap experience at 5 PM on June 19th, where you can try the beer, grab some merch, and meet the team from Gypsum Love Brewing!

🚨 SURPRISE CAN RELEASE! 🚨

Okay, okay. You win!

After months of comments, messages, reminders, and gentle nudges, we've finally brought Chromatic Vibrance back. Honestly, we probably should have done it sooner. But thanks to your persistent comments (looking at you, Scott!), fresh Chromatic Vibrance is once again available in cans and on tap at our Middletown and Rehoboth taprooms.

Happy? Come & get it!
